Is it illegal to install cameras in hotels?

Legal analysis: It is definitely illegal for hotels to install cameras in guest rooms, but it is allowed to install cameras in corridors or halls.

Legal basis: According to Article 42 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Public Security Administration Punishment, anyone who peeps, eavesdrops or spreads others' privacy shall be detained for not more than five days, or fined for not less than 500 yuan. If the circumstances are serious, he shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than 65438 +00 days, and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan. Infringement of others' privacy is generally an infringement. If it has not caused certain consequences, the infringer shall be liable for compensation, including compensation for mental damage, which does not constitute criminal responsibility. However, it cannot be said that any act that infringes on the privacy of others does not constitute a crime, and there is no need to sentence the perpetrator.
